Iskon Temple was founded by A.C. Bhakthivedanta Swami Prabhupada in New York, USA some 50 years back. Its has been doing well and branches are there of ISKON Temple worldwide. The headquarters of Iskon Temple is in Mayapur, West Bengal, India.
I guess, Bhatkhivedanta Swami Prabhupada was influenced by the idea of Christian Missionaries, coming to India and propagating Christianity in India, by converting some Hindus into Christians. He was following the same idea, and started a Hindu Missionary in the USA to propagate Hindu Religion outside India.
The idea of propagating Christianity in other lands may be okay for Christians, but we Hindus cannot stomach firangis becoming Hindus and worshipping Krishna. When in Indian Society, we cannot stomach the White Race to rule over us, and we fought for Independence from British Raj, how can we imagine our Religion to be handed over to firangis. I find it disgusting to see that a firangi dressed as a Swami and dancing to the tunes of Krishna Bhajan. Its complete pollution of Hindu Religion.
Also, I understand that Iskon Temple gets lots of money in the form of Donations from Firangis. But, I say, we cannot handover Krishna to firangis for the sake of money. Its quite natural for a Bharatiya to worship Krishna and quite unnatural for a firangi to worship Krishna.
Its a good thing that Iskon Temple has its Head Quarters in Mayapur, West Bengal, India and not outside of India. This is really ideal.
Henceforth, the Krishna of Iskon Temple is termed as Mayapur Krishna. It is this Mayapur Krishna who is the presiding deity of Iskon Temples worldwide.
Also, it is to be noted that Krishna should be worshipped in Indian Languages only and not in English. So, i urge the ISKON Temple to have its literature in Hindi instead of English, and declare Hindi as its official language.
Hare Krishna.
Vamsinath.
